Creating OR joins in Business Area

Question

Hi,
I need to create a OR join between one fact and one dimensions in a Business Area.
Like Join
t1.fiscal_year_week = t2.fiscal_year_week
or t1.fiscal_year_week = t2.FISCAL_YEAR_WEEK_PRIOR.
When I try to add another join condition in the Discoverer Admin it only defaults to AND join, and there is no option for selecting OR, AND in the create join window.
Can anyone suggest how to do this.
Thanks
Jay

Hi Michael,
We already have joins like Rod said by making data available through two folders.
But the query created by discoverer still has AND join only. Am I missing something. see below the query
FROM TDW_PROD.FISCAL_WEEKS o100221,
TDW_PROD.SITES o100290,
TDW_PROD.TRANSACTION_SITE_ITEM_WEEK o146091,
TDW_PROD.FISCAL_WEEKS o155417
WHERE ( (o100290.SITE_ID = o146091.SITE_ID)
and (o100221.FISCAL_YEAR_WEEK = o146091.FISCAL_YEAR_WEEK)
and (o155417.FISCAL_YEAR_WEEK_PRIOR = o146091.FISCAL_YEAR_WEEK))
Also I tried creating two seperate joins to the same folder..
Here is the step I followed
I created a inner join first
then another join between the same two folders as outer join.
then created discoverer worksheet choosing the outer join.
this created query with join as below. no OR joins. I even tried selecting both the joins in the worksheet
FROM tdw_prod.fiscal_weeks o100221,
tdw_prod.sites o100290,
tdw_prod.transaction_site_item_week o146091
WHERE ( (o100290.site_id = o146091.site_id)
AND (o100221.fiscal_year_week_prior = o146091.fiscal_year_week(+))
I even tried selecting both the joins in the worksheet. still it only created AND join only
FROM tdw_prod.fiscal_weeks o100221,
tdw_prod.sites o100290,
tdw_prod.transaction_site_item_week o146091
WHERE ( (o100290.site_id = o146091.site_id)
AND (o100221.fiscal_year_week = o146091.fiscal_year_week)
AND (o100221.fiscal_year_week_prior = o146091.fiscal_year_week(+))
Thanks
